AGROUP of energetic 12-year-
olds proved it has the physical
capability of handling one of
society’s most demanding and im-
portant vocations.
Somerville Intermediate School’s
team of Georgia Skelton, Jake Bar-
foot, Handro Vermeulen and Katie
Heaven is the 2013 Counties Manu-
kau champions of the police force’s
physical competency test (PCT) ft-
ness challenge.
Held during November at the
ASB Showgrounds, Greenlane, the
challenge put the Somerville pupils
and eight other teams through the
same paces as front-line police staff
go through.
All police offcers who are con-
stables, sergeants or senior ser-
geants are required to do the PCT
every two years.
Among the obstacles on the
demanding physical endurance
course was a trailer push, tyre
carry, balance beam, climbing wall
and dragging a dummy.
Somerville team members were
selected by assistant principal Mat-
thew Cooke for their sporting and
problem solving attributes.
At the end of all of the teams’
runs, the times were revealed and
Somerville beat Bucklands Beach
Intermediate by just 0.79 seconds.
The soon-to-be year 8 pupils
are now fundraising to contest the
national PCT challenge in Welling-
ton in April.
Fitness up to the job
POTENTIAL RECRUITS: Somerville Intermediate pupils, from left, Georgia Skelton, Handro Vermeulen, Jake Barfoot
and Katie Heaven, won the year 7 physical competency test (PCT) fitness challenge run by the police.
